Grier Clark Allen, born 8 NOV 1861 Goheenville, Armstrong County, PA, and Mary "May" Ryner, b. 00 AUG 1934 reputedly Monmouth, IL, married 7 NOV 1889 in Grant, Nebraska. They were living in Colorado in 1891 and then went to Armstrong County, PA later in the 1890s. The couple next lived in West Virginia and finally moved to Monmouth, where Grier Clark Allen farmed from 1918 to 1934. When he died on 16 AUG 1934 the family residence was 415 So. Main Street, Monmouth. May Ryner survived her husband, dying at the age of 88 in Monmouth.

Cited in her obituary were the following children: Pearl (who married an L. P. Wolfe), Earl W., Viva Edith, John Dalton (who married Ruth M. ...), Leslie P., and Robert.

Seek any information/leads concerning this family. It would appear that John Dalton/Ruth M. Allen had a son John Dalton Allen, Jr. and remained resident in Monmouth.
